The Federal Government needs to do something. Marriage is a Human Right and should not be left up to the states to decide. I have been getting really worked up about this because in California the only option I have is to get a domestic partnership. This means for me, if I ever leave California, I may or may not be recognized as “a spouse” to my husband. What kind of nonsense policy is that???
The under lying issue is that when individuals are not offered the same opportunities the system is weakened. For example this type of discrimination will affect the health outcomes of LGBTQIA people. It is worst when the discrimination is institutionalized. This may manifest in chronic stress which could affect productivity, cause feelings of worthlessness and maybe even aggression.
Granted these are just my speculations generalized from other studies done on cortisol levels and minorities. There has yet to be done a study regarding what I have just claimed. This is just my educated guess.
Progress is happening too slowly and at the extent of people's spirits and this could be damaging to the country. Marriage is a human right. The Federal Government needs to protect it.
